CAT'S SKETCH FEVER

Welcome to our second Cat's Sketch Fever challenge.  Since we hadn't started the challenges when the first CatNanDo sketch was released, we are going to challenge everyone to use that sketch:

or you can use the first exclusive Sketch Inspiration sketch:

These sketches are wonderful and I hope you can find the time during the next two weeks to use these sketches to create some beautiful layouts.  I love to use sketches since they seem to really speed up my creative process, yet still create great layouts.

 

Our winner from our very first Cat's Sketch Fever challenge, chosen by random.org, was #14, commenter Sharon G from my blog.  Congratulations Sharon G., contact Cat at the store (940-327-0713) to collect your prize.   

 

Remember, you can still participate in WOW Wednesday until 10:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on Tuesday, May 23rd.  This Cat's Sketch Fever challenge is open until 10:00 p.m. Central Standard Tim on Tuesday, May 30th.  It's fun to participate in challenges since you have a chance to win a  prize PLUS you get projects completed.  So, join in the fun and link up your projects!



IT'S WOW WEDNESDAY

If it's the second Wednesday of the month, then it is time for our WOW Wednesday linky party.  Nothing has changed about WOW Wednesday other than:

1. It is the second and fourth Wednesday of the month.
2. You have TWO WEEKS to participate.  I will be reminding you along the way that there is still time to participate.
3. The winner will be announced on the next WOW Wednesday post.

Just a reminder, there is still time to participate in Cat's Sketch Fever.  I plan to get my projects linked up before next week....how about you?

 

WOW, IT'S CAT'S SKETCH FEVER!

I've been hinting around at some changes coming for WOW Wednesday.  We want to start having a challenge twice a month involving the sketches from Cat and Nanci (CatNanDo) and Sketch Inspiration.  We also still want to have WOW Wednesday, but allow you two weeks to participate and have it twice a month.  The sketch challenges will also run two weeks.  There will be reminders that you still have time to participate, either by creating layouts or by commenting.  There will be a prize for the randomly chosen winner from the participants and commenters.

Life is busy, so we are hoping that by allowing you to have two weeks to participate that maybe more people will be able to participate.   This is the schedule we will follow:

First and Third Wednesdays:  Cat's Sketch Fever Challenge

Second and Fourth Wednesdays:  WOW Wednesday Linky Party   

So, without further ado, I am pleased to announce our FIRST Cat Sketch Fever Challenge.

Right side of two page layout.

 

These are Cat's layouts using the sketches.   Love how she turned the lace ruffle upside down!

 

This is the second exclusive sketch that Trisha from Sketch Inspiration has shared with us.  You can use this sketch or the CatNanDo sketch to participate.  We will not always have choices for you, but for our very first Cat's Sketch Fever challenge, we wanted to give you a choice. 

 

We love seeing the work of our talented friends and customers and there is always inspiration to be found while visiting their projects. Would you like to participate, but do not have a blog?
